Night Rose

"Mom, I broke up with Lu Mingzhou," Su Jin replied calmly.

Compared to her composure, her mother's reaction was far from calm; she jumped out of bed, exclaiming, "What?!"

"Mom, keep your voice down!" Su Jin pulled her mother's arm and made a shushing gesture.

If you shout so loudly, Grandma will hear you and won't be able to leave.

"Why? Su Su, did you two have a fight? It's normal for couples to argue. The more tolerant you are, the better you can go the distance. Besides, you've been together for five years. Why break up now? I don't understand." Mom looked puzzled, her brows furrowed.

Su Jin quickly closed the door. "Mom! Keep your voice down. I was afraid Grandma would be angry if she found out, so I told you first. After I leave, mention it to Grandma and help her accept reality."

"Mom will be angry too. You've already met each other's parents, and they're very happy with you. So why did you break up? Susu, you're not young anymore. You can't make the wrong decision just because you're angry."

"Because he and his dear junior sister framed me and made me lose my job," Su Jin sighed.

"What?! How could he... how could he do this? Is there some misunderstanding? Xiao Lu seems like such a good person, and he's been so good to you. How could he do something like this?" The mother still held a sliver of hope.

Su Jin suddenly realized that Lu Mingzhou usually acted too perfectly in front of his mother and grandmother, to the point that his mother simply did not believe he would do such a thing.

"Mom, you can't see through people's hearts. I'm already back in China, why would I lie to you? I stubbornly insisted on staying in New York with him before. If it were just a misunderstanding, why would I have made such a big fuss?"

"How could he do this?" The mother became agitated, pacing back and forth in the room, unable to calm down.

"We must divide it! We absolutely have to divide it!"

"Not only did they break up, I also got rid of both of their jobs," Su Jin said with a laugh.

The mother, beaming with pride, gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed, "She's truly my daughter!"

But her mother felt sorry for her, "Susu, you didn't even tell me you broke up. It must be so hard for you to be all alone abroad, baby."

Su Jin coughed guiltily, "Actually, I've been back in China for a few months, but I've been working and haven't had a chance to go home yet."

Mom shook her head. "It's not your fault, child. It's definitely hard to be heartbroken. So what are you doing? Where are you working now? Are you still racing?"

"Yes, I'm working for a small racing team now. Although I don't earn as much as before, I'm very happy," Su Jin said.

She's not just earning less than top-tier blockchains; she's now a free engineer.

Fortunately, TopChain paid out a lot, enough for her to squander for a while.

Her mother held her hand tenderly, saying, "Money doesn't matter, as long as you're happy. Even if you come home, your father and I can support you. But you still need to have your own life. A job is a good opportunity to meet more people, and if there's someone suitable, you can give them a try."

"Hey, I remember your Aunt Wu told me last month that her nephew is looking for a girlfriend. How about we arrange a blind date for you two?"

"No need! Mom, I still want to have some peace and quiet." Su Jin quickly refused. She couldn't go on a blind date; she already had a boyfriend.

If Zhou Zheng catches her going on a blind date behind her boyfriend's back, she'll be tortured to death.

"Okay, Mom will listen to you."

"Mom, do you think it would be okay if I were to find a partner younger than me?" Su Jin asked tentatively.

My mother is incredibly cheerful and often dances with young women; she has a high tolerance for new things.

She waved her hand dismissively, "What's the big deal? Young men are in better physical condition, and their babies will be healthier. If you like it, bring it home for your mother to see."

Su Jin smiled and nodded, then whispered to her mother, "Mom, remember to tell Grandma that Lu Mingzhou and I broke up. Grandma really likes Lu Mingzhou, I don't know how he managed to make her so happy. As for the reason, don't mention it, I'm afraid Grandma will be sad."

Her mother patted her hand. "I know. Take good care of yourself, and don't forget to call home from work. Now that you're in China, it's easy for you to come home. Come back and visit more often."

"Okay," Su Jin replied.

The mother personally drove her to the high-speed rail station, avoiding the grandmother who was taking a nap, otherwise the grandmother would have held her granddaughter's hand and nagged for a long time.

Su Jin boarded the high-speed train and sent him the ticket information.

Zhou Zheng has not replied.

After the high-speed train pulled into the station, Su Jin was walking on her way out when she received a location from Zhou Zheng.

He's near the high-speed rail station!

Su Jin is past the age where she insists on being picked up by her boyfriend. If Zhou Zheng is busy, it's fine for her to take a taxi home by herself.

But these little things that make you feel cared for are even more touching.

Su Jin's steps became cheerful, and she started to jog as she walked, eager to see him.

A tall figure stood not far away; she could recognize Zhou Zheng even through the crowd.

Zhou Zheng leaned against the Volkswagen, playing with a bunch of keys in his hand, with a silver puppy pendant given to him by Su Jin hanging on it, which was dazzling in the sun.

As if by telepathy, Zhou Zheng looked up at the crowd and met his gaze with his beautiful girlfriend in the middle of the crowd.

He immediately straightened his back, took a few steps forward, and opened his arms to the person he had been longing for day and night.

Su Jin smiled happily, ran over, pushed her suitcase aside, and jumped into Zhou Zheng's arms like a koala, embracing him tightly.

Two people who haven't seen each other for many days feel at ease when they smell each other's familiar scent.

Zhou Zheng grabbed the suitcase handle with one hand and supported her hips with the other, holding her tightly in his arms; his waist strength was truly outstanding.

"Do you miss me?" Su Jin asked, looking down at her, her eyes filled with eager light.

Of course she knew the answer, because Zhou Zheng, like her, was deeply missing the other person. From the moment the other person appeared, his eyes had not spared a single glance for anyone or anything else.

Zhou Zheng answered with a kiss, eagerly sucking on her lips.

He wanted to kiss her more deeply, but Su Jin stopped him, panting.

"There are people around!" Su Jin said anxiously.

She had just jumped onto Zhou Zheng without thinking, and it seemed a bit late for her to feel shy now, but she still felt a little awkward.

"I don't care," Zhou Zheng said honestly. What other unrelated people thought of him was not important at all.

But when he looked up at her, he gave in to her gaze and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Zhou Zheng put the person and luggage into the car, escorted her downstairs, and gently carried the suitcase to her home.

"Why did you bring a suitcase back?" Zhou Zheng put the suitcase on the balcony for her and then brought water to wipe the outside of the suitcase.

Su Jin stretched and did some stretching exercises in the living room. "Aren't we going to be a car convoy? We'll definitely need to bring a lot of stuff over. Who knows how many months we'll be staying here?"

"You agreed to start a racing team?"
